I have a 1995 Fiesta 1400 and every now again it won't start? I have had it in a garage and they explained the 'brain'/module was too blame. Replaced that and tonight the same!! No fuel, No spark! Immobiliser is bypassed(supposedly).
Any ideas? Fantastic car other than this!

I had a similar problem on a mk2 fiesta, one of the brain modules had become saturated with water and over time it had rusted and eventually broken off. You could turn the engine over but it wouldn't spark. See if its flooded with water or has worked loose.

There are many possibilities here, but far and away the most common problem on these is the connection to the Crank Angle Sensor (CAS), located on the engine side of the flywheel housing just above the starter motor. Simply removing & refitting often effects a cure, but packing with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) protects it for the future. After this you need to be able to check the signal from CAS into the module, and if absent replace the CAS. After that it all gets rather tricky without actually seeing the car.
